Princess Zolita : The leaves are ready to speak.
Cully : No lemon?
Gypsy : The tea leaves have spoken.
Princess Zolita : If you do not mind, I work alone!
Cully : What do they spell, Mother?
Princess Zolita : How lucky you are, the wheel of fortune has stopped at your number.
Johnny : A wheel? That's roulette.
Princess Zolita : And I see a dice table, too.
Cully : No blackjack? This boy plays all games.
Princess Zolita : And a new woman is coming into your life. A beautiful, young redhead.
Johnny : It can't be a redhead, Princess. My girl's a blonde. Take another look.
Princess Zolita : Now I see a blonde. Oh, but she has been bad luck for you. The tea leaves say... you will have good luck with the redhead.
Cully : I know better, I married one. Take the advice of a 20-year loser, no redheads.
Princess Zolita : He must not defy the tea leaves.
Cully : How are you going to explain her to Frankie?
Johnny : Why explain? We'll just use her to make a bundle.
Cully : You're going to pass off a beautiful redhead as a good-luck piece? Good luck.
Gypsy : If, uh, if I may be so crude.
Johnny : Oh, sure.
[Johnny hands a $10 bill to the princess]
Gypsy : If you please. The princess never soils her royal hands with money. $10? When the tea leaves promise a beautiful redhead, it is $20.
Cully : A lot of money for a cup of tea. That's a gypsy for you. Takes all your dough so you can't take her advice.
Princess Zolita : Minor problems like that I cannot solve.
Cully : Maybe you can get another advance from Braden.
Johnny : Not a chance. I'm already in for five weeks' salary.
Cully : That you lost right back into his pocket. Braden's got a nice little thing going there.
